Author's Notes: A million apologies to you, my dear readers. I'm sooooo sorry it has taken me so long to update this story. I have no real excuse other than my brain just fizzled out. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be out, but it will probably be the last one. Thank you all for sticking with me so far.
They search for the demon, hunting through Hellboy's memories, finding the good, the bad and the down right humiliating.
Where the hell is he? Hellboy snarls.
I don't know, Red, Abe calmly responds, perplexed that they haven't been able to find the demon. Perhaps we should concentrate on your memories from when you first called him forth.
Why? Hellboy asks, anger and frustration evident in his mind's voice.
Because he laid dormant until you called him, he's more likely to be in a memory he knows, Abe answers.
Fine, Hellboy grumbles.
One by one, they go through memories starting with the night Hellboy confronted Rasputin until they get to the night that Hellboy and Liz first got intimate. Hellboy pushes Abe out of the memory so hard that Abe finds himself back in his own mind. After blinking in surprise a few times, he looks down at his friend's body.
He's no longer thrashing around, but he is as stiff as a board with his hands balled into fists at his sides. The crown of flame is brighter than before and his horns have grown several inches since he last looked. With grim determination, Abe returns to Hellboy's mind and confronts his friend, though he's a bit confused about why they're back at the ruined abbey.
That wasn't necessary, Abe states.
You didn't need to see that memory, Hellboy growls.
Red, if Rama is anywhere, it's going to be a memory you don't want me to see, Abe points out.
He's answered with silence, though he can feel Hellboy's anger and reluctance to show Abe his most private moments with the woman he loves.
I don't want to be here any more than you want me to be, Abe softly assures him. But we need to find Rama and the sooner the better.
Why? Hellboy snarls.
Because you're quickly losing control, Abe replies. If the demon takes over, can you imagine the damage he could do to the B.P.R.D.? And it would start with your father's office.
I can't do this to her, Blue, Hellboy softly tells him. This is special to just us. I can't. I just can't.
Then he's already won and you might as well surrender now, Abe tells him.
Never! Hellboy roars.
Then let's find him, Abe gently instructs.
Suddenly they're standing in Hellboy's room looking through his eyes. The TVs are all off and the cats are conspicuously absent. The room is cleaner than it's ever been and there are candles everywhere.
“Red, shut and lock the door please,” a soft voice requests.
They spin around towards the sound and they easily spot her. They take one good look at Liz and they nearly faint as all of their blood in their brain goes straight to their cock.
“You going to close the door or are we going to stand here all night?” she asks, shyly smiling as they stand there staring at her like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights.
“Door?” they inquire as some blood that hasn’t vacated to their groin forces them to acknowledge what she said.
They finally look over at the portal in question and see it standing wide open for the entire world to see. With great difficulty, they stumbles over to it and slam the thing shut with probably a bit more force than necessary. She lets out a quiet chuckle as she practically glides over to them and throws the lock, insuring their privacy.
They stares at the little negligee she’s wearing and their pants get even tighter. The red satin material shimmers in the candle light with her every move as she turns towards him. The black lace accents the alabaster skin over the swell of her breasts perfectly and they wonder when it got so hot in their room. Their gaze travels down her body, the tiny number accentuating her curves like a glove. When they gets to her shapely bare legs, they're fairly sure every drop of their blood is now in his pants.
“Are you going to touch me or are you going to stare at me all night?” she teases.
GRAB HER! TAKE HER! Anung un Rama yells.
For once they don’t argue with Rama as they reach out and roughly drag her to them. They savagely start to kiss her while she tries to push away from them but they just hold her tighter. It’s not until a swift kick to the shin causes them to push her away from them, sending her to the floor.
They snarl their displeasure as they start to reach for her again, intent on teaching her a lesson as Rama howls his approval. The look of fear in her eyes and the tears running down her cheeks are what stop them dead in their tracks and they fall to their knees. She backs away from them until her back hits the wall, but they makes no move to stop her as they hide their face in shame.
“Oh god, what have I done,” they whisper.
GRAB HER! TAKE HER! Anung un Rama screams in their mind. SHE IS YOURS BY RIGHT! FORCE HER TO SUBMIT! HURT HER FOR MAKING YOU WAIT!
“GET OUT OF MY HEAD!” they bellow as they launch themselves off of the floor and across the room.
They fight with the demon in their head, slamming their fist into the wall in anger and frustration. The demon refuses to leave, demanding that they take the female and claim her for theirs for all time. They continue to struggle, but it's a losing battle and they know it.
When they spin around and find her standing there, they're brought up short. Surprised that she’s still there all they can do is stare at her and wonder why she hasn’t gone. She steps up to them and they're paralyzed with fear as she reaches up a small hand and strokes their face.
“You should go,” they mumble as they finally regain control of their body and turn away from her.
“Why?” she asks, moving even closer to them.
“I don’t want to hurt you again,” they admit, refusing to look at her.
“Then I’ll just kick you in the shin again,” she tells them bravely. “Red, look at me.”
“Just go,” they groan, squeezing their eyes shut and trying ignore the demon raging inside of them. “I…I couldn’t live with myself if I hurt you.”
“Hellboy, please, look at me,” she repeats as she takes their face in her hands and turns their head.
After what seems to be an eternity later, they finally open their eyes and looks at her. Dark eyes filled with love and concern stare back at them. The thought of her loving them despite everything takes their breath away and they feel their heart start to pound against their ribs.
“Kiss me?” she requests.
They quickly give her a peck on the cheek before pulling away. Giving a snort of disgust, she grabs hold of their mutton chops, drags their face down to her level and kisses them, hard. They try to pull away at first, but she’s got a very good hold of their facial hairs so they stop struggling.
They try to ignore what the feeling of her lips on theirs is doing to them. It doesn’t help that her tongue is caressing their lips, seeking entrance and it’s got their pants shrinking again. To further their tormenting, she’s now rubbing her scantily clad body against them causing them to moan as they start to relax into her ministrations.
Take her, Anung un Rama hisses causing them to suddenly go rigid. You know that you want to. Take her. Make her yours.
They push her away and turns to make their escape only to be faced with the wall they were punching earlier. They stand there trembling as they fight their inner demon for control. They're losing and they know it, but are helpless to stop it.
“Hey!...” she starts only to be cut off by a deafening roar.
Suddenly their world is filled with pain and Abe and Hellboy find themselves fighting the enraged Anung un Rama. They're back at the ruined abbey again and the friends find themselves on the defensive as the demon attacks them with everything he has. They're barely managing to hold their own as Abe's mind races to figure out what caused the demon to come out of hiding and attack them.
Red! What did Liz say to you that night? Abe asks as he barely manages to dodge a stone fist coming right at his head.
What!? Hellboy yells back.
What did Liz say? Abe repeats. She was about to say something just before we were attacked.
I don't know. I don't remember! Hellboy snaps as he ducks under a flying fist and finally manages to land a punch of his own in the demon's gut.
Suddenly, Hellboy finds himself doubled over in pain as if he himself had been punched in the gut. In confusion, he looks over at the red monster he's fighting and sees that he's holding his middle just like Hellboy.
Think, Red! Abe insists as he jumps over a tail that strikes out at him. It must be important or we wouldn't have been attacked!
With an angry snarl, the demon launches himself at Abe and only the merman's supernatural speed and agility keep him from being crushed. Red tackles the monster, but is quickly thrown off, much to his chagrin. As he rolls to his feet, he furiously thinks to that special night when he and Liz had finally made love.
Anung un Rama! Hellboy shouts as the demon makes another grab for Abe. She said his name!
Of course! Abe exclaims as he jumps back. Anung un Rama! Stop!
The demon stops mid strike and Abe stares in disbelief at the unmoving monster in front of him. Abe quickly moves out of the way of the now motionless being and goes to stand by Hellboy. Abe can feel his body start to relax, though technically, it's not really there.
His name, Abe sighs with relief. To many demons, to know his true name is to have power over him. You needed to say it to release him and it obviously has power over him.
If I released him with his name, then I can banish him with it too, Hellboy states. Hey! Anung un Rama! I banish you to wherever the Hell you came from!
Anung un Rama chuckles, a low evil sound before he turns his baleful gaze on them.
I came from you, Anung un Rama replies, a self satisfied smirk on his face.
Then go back to sleep or whatever the Hell it was you were doing! Hellboy yells in frustration.
I cannot, Anung un Rama growls with amusement.
Oh dear, Abe says. A bit of Pandora's Box, this.
Excuse me? Hellboy demands, glancing over at his friend briefly before turning his attention back to the beast in front of them.
Surely, you must know the story of Pandora's Box, Abe states in surprise. It's an old Greek myth about...
I know the story, Abe! Hellboy interrupts. Get to the point!
You let him out, but he can't be put back, Abe points out.
Crap, Hellboy grumbles. So how do we get rid of him?
You can't, Abe replies sadly and Anung un Rama laughs again.
With a bellow of frustrated rage, Hellboy leaps at the demon and hits him hard enough to make him stagger back a few paces. The same instant his fist makes contact, an immense pain hits him, forcing him to stumble back a few steps.
Red! Stop it! Abe yells, getting between Hellboy and Anung un Rama.
Out of the way, Abe, Hellboy snarls, shaking off the last visages of pain and taking a step towards the demon. I need to pound this bastard into the ground.
He's a part of you! Abe snaps as he moves once more between the two combatants. You can't defeat him because he is you.
Like Hell he is, Hellboy growls as he tries to step around Abe.
When you came to this world, you were Anung un Rama, Abe quickly tells him while moving with his friend. It was the professor's love for you that made you Hellboy. You were never meant to know that feeling, but you did and then you became Hellboy, Anung un Rama became dormant until you called on him.
So how the Hell do I get rid of him? Hellboy demands.
You don't, Abe answers.
Then what the Hell is the point of all of this? Hellboy bellows in frustration
You have to accept him as a part of you, Abe calmly tells him.
And how do I do that? Hellboy snarls.
By accepting his power, Abe instructs.
That's it? Hellboy questions in surprise.
And in return, you must give him your compassion, Abe finishes and Hellboy stares at him.
You wanna run that past me one more time? Hellboy inquires after a couple minutes of silence.
You have to accept the power Anung un Rama brings you, but in return, you must give him your compassion, Abe repeats. If you don't the two of you will be fighting for dominance for the rest of your life.
I'm supposed to give him my..., Hellboy tries to state, but can't seem to get it out.
You're compassion, Abe finishes for him.
I can't, Hellboy mutters.
You can, Abe assures him. Just as your father gave you compassion, you too can give it.
I'm not my father, Hellboy unhappily admits.
You are his son, Abe replies, placing a hand on Hellboy's shoulder. You are capable of great compassion. When one of our human agents gets hurt, aren't you the one to help him or her? Often to the point where we nearly have to drag you off of the agents so the medics can get in?
Yeah, Hellboy hesitantly responds.
Didn't you save Manning down in Rasputin's catacombs? Abe asks.
Don't remind me, Hellboy grumbles.
Compassion, my friend, Abe quietly states. You have it in great quantities because your father gave you his compassion...and his love.
Hellboy stares at his friend for something shy of eternity before finally turning his attention back to Anung un Rama. He takes in a big breath and lets it out in a sigh with a small shake of his head, his shoulders slumping in defeat.
Remember how you felt the morning after your father found you, Abe instructs. Let his gift to you help you be whole again.
With another sigh, Hellboy steps around Abe and goes to stand in front of Anung un Rama. The demon glares back at him with his own eyes. They're identical but for the crown of flames and horns on Anung un Rama. When neither of them makes a move for some time, Abe figures a little coaching is in order.
Remember that morning, Abe reminds him. Remember how you felt when you looked up at him and he smiled at you. Let that feeling come again.
It's not enough, Hellboy states after a minute.
How did you feel about Liz? Abe asks and Hellboy closes his eyes. You nearly destroyed the world for her. She's now carrying your child. How do you feel about that?
I'm not good with words, Abe, Hellboy whispers. But sometimes, it feels like my heart is going to explode...It's just when I see her...or think about her...I want...I need...
Let that feeling fill you up until you're ready to burst, Abe instructs.
Suddenly they're back in Hellboy's room. The place is a mess again, cats are everywhere, TVs are on, but set on a low volume and Liz is asleep in Hellboy's bed.
Liz, Hellboy whispers.
Hold onto that feeling, Abe continues. Accept Anung un Rama into your life. Give him your compassion.
Hellboy turns towards Anung un Rama and looks at the darker half of himself. Rama glares back with his hands curled into fists as if daring Hellboy to start something. Hellboy comes toe to toe with Rama and then just looks at him for what seems to be forever.
You and I are one, Hellboy calmly states as he places his left hand over Anung un Rama's heart.
There's a flash of brilliant white light and then Abe finds himself back in the library. He's kneeling on the floor next to Hellboy's head, his hands still firmly attached to his friend's face and Liz is trying to get his attention. He blinks a few times and his brain finally catches up with what he's hearing.
“...going on?” Liz asks as she shakes Abe's arm. “We heard yelling and things crashing. Are you two alright?”
“We're fine, babe,” Hellboy answers a bit groggily, like he's just woken up. “We're good. Right, Abe?”
“Yes, I believe we are both fine,” Abe replies with a nod as he carefully pulls his hands away from Hellboy's face.
“Your slurring is gone,” she states in surprise as Hellboy sits up.
“Good,” Hellboy states as he pulls her into his arms. “I was tired of sounding like a drunk.”
Before another word can pass her lips, he's kissing her as if he hasn't seen her in a hundred years. Abe stands up and sees John and a few other agents milling around the doorway. He instructs them to clean up the mess in there and then heads for the staircase.
“Liz, when the two of you are done traumatizing the other agents, please take Hellboy back to his room and put him to bed,” Abe instructs as he tiredly makes his way up the stairs.
“I feel fine,” Hellboy grumbles, glaring up at the blue figure. “I don't need to go back to bed.”
“I don't care where you two go, swing from the chandeliers if you want, but you will not be continuing what your doing in front of my tank!” Abe retorts, not even bothering to look back at the couple as he continues upwards.
Hellboy scowls at the retreating figure and it's not until Liz starts giggling that he looks back down at her. Then he remembers one of the last memories that he shared with Abe and the fact that the woman he loves is sitting in his lap. He can feel his blood heating his cheeks and other places south of the boarder. In a heartbeat, he's on his feet and heading out the door with Liz still in his arms with her giggling all the way back to his room.
Just as the large door to Hellboy's room is shutting with a resounding CLANG an exhausted Abe happily returns to his tank in hopes that he will dream about fishes and not about what might be happening down the hall in Hellboy's room.
